How are you feeling? I start mine next Tuesday and I won't lie, I'm nervous. Mine is a "liver shrinking diet" so it looks like a protein-shake heavy keto diet. Should be OK. I'm more worried about the liquid and puree stages but one baby step at a time I guess!

Hi Kelly! It's about 4 hours drive for me. I also looked at a place in Vegas (Blossom?) but I am a TERRIBLE flyer on a good day and have to take lots of meds just to make it without throwing up, so my husband was absolutely not on board with that. 4 hours driving isn't awful. Wish it was local but I had to go with what I could afford/the surgeon who was highly recommended and has done thousands of these.

Hi everyone! I'm new here with a March 15th surgery date. I'm self-pay with Dr. Shillingford in Boca Raton, FL. It's all happening pretty fast after having spent years and years researching. My insurance specifically excludes all bariatric procedures. I'm super nervous but also super excited to begin the next chapter of my life.
